2015-01-01T17:31:41ZFluxBBhttp://developerweb.net/index.phpIt seems pretty cool... I wouldn't want to use it as my everyday computer, certainly... But, then, the same could be said of ANY laptop/notebook! But, the Chromebook in particular has a strange keyboard layout which I wouldn't want to use for coding or anything too serious... It's lacking Home, End, PageUp/Down, Insert, Delete, and all F-keys... I regularly like to use PageUp/Down to quickly scroll through web pages and such, and Home/End to jump to the top/bottom... And, I'm often doing Shift+Insert to paste... And, the software I work with makes heavy use of F-keys... There are apparently ways to emulate such keys via various Ctrl/Alt keypress combos, which I could probably get used to if I had to, but still it's not an ideal keyboard layout for work use, anyway... But, for what I got it for (browsing and SSH'ing into home and work E-mail servers while on vacation), it should be fine... It seems kind of weird to have an SSH session inside a web browser (the terminal emulator and SSH client are basically just a Chrome extension), but it seems to work fine, anyway... I was going to check out "developer mode", but reading up it sounds like that will wipe out all current configuration, and require me to set everything up yet again, and I don't really feel like going through the hassle right now...

(It's also missing a Caps Lock key, but I think that's the one brilliant feature of its keyboard... I wish all keyboards did away with that hideous abomination! Oh, and the totally worthless Scroll Lock too! But, at least that's not located in a position where I'm always mistakenly hitting it while reaching for Tab...)

* You somehow created two accounts with the same user name...

* One account is fully registered via the email reply, the other is not - and this is probably causing the problem

* You posted two threads... with identical titles.... and identical content in the posts - which is what bots and so forth do...

* Human or bot - with the duplicate ids, I can think of only one easy way to solve the problem...

Sooooo...

I am banning both of those accounts... what you will have to do is create a new account with a DIFFERENT user name... and re-register / respond to the registration email...

If you have network related questions, in whatever language, ask them in the networking forum. Similar for other topics. For Python (the language) specific question you can try the general forum, but don't be surprised if we don't know the answer either.

(And before other people chime in: Yes, this is also true for Ruby, Haskell, Lisp, Verilog, etc. etc.)

There isn't that much traffic on this site, so there isn't really a great need for many specific forums. If you've a question and don't know where to post it, just do it in the general forum. People can search for e.g. "Python" if they want to get all Python posts (9 hits ;-).

But i just wanted to say "congratulations" for being so quick to take into account users suggestions. I definitely love this forum :-) (i'm a fuc*ing ass-licker hehe).

]]>http://developerweb.net/profile.php?id=53362006-07-19T08:04:45Zhttp://developerweb.net/viewtopic.php?id=4517&action=newAlright, done.]]>http://developerweb.net/profile.php?id=42142005-09-18T20:37:46Zhttp://developerweb.net/viewtopic.php?id=4168&action=newThat's probably true, it seems to be a useful feature. You could have posted a url pointing to a site with more info about though.

What I'm more concerned about is how you could post in the DeveloperWeb.net forum directly, basically adding a new forum and post in one, instead of posting it in a subforum (like here where I moved it to). That seems to be a bug in phpbb which is hopefully fixed in the newer version, that alone is imho enough reason to upgrade the damn thing.

Ok, no stress, i got the idea "no demand for a asm section". No problem. ;)

Thks

always just go in the "Networking" forum, regardless of what
programming language you're talking about... (Though, I won't
guarantee that any of us admins will know a hell of a lot about
anything beyond plain C code... ;-) But, someone might... And,
the basic ideas are generally interchangable among all languages,
anyway, so it often doesn't make any difference what the language
is, except in being able to understand the basic syntax well enough
to see what you're trying to do...) The language-specific forums
are really more for not directly network-related issues specific to
those languages... And, they're really only here as sort of hold-overs
from when the place was starting out... Actually, there IS already
a Python forum here; you guys just can't see it, but me and the
other admins can... ;-) I think we (probably Loco or Vic) just went
through and hid most of the forums, leaving only a few that we were
prepared to actually answer questions on... Hence, we have C,
C++, and Java (though, *I* certainly am not prepared to answer
questions on that one ;-)), but no Python, since none of us were
too enthused about handling general Python questions... (This is,
after all, supposed to just be a sockets/networking-related forum...
Though, it's rather evolved into a bit more general than that... ;-))
I, for one, have used Python on a few rare occassions, and found
it...quite odd... ;-) Not in a bad way, though... But, you can't help
but find a language in which whitespace actually matters in regards
to syntax a bit odd... ;-) It is fairly spiffy, though... However, like I
say, I don't know if we really want to open a general Python forum,
for any old Python questions... But, for networking questions,
feel free to ask them in the "Networking" forum, whether you're
coding in Python, or Perl, or anything else...]]>http://developerweb.net/profile.php?id=37582004-05-20T12:24:36Zhttp://developerweb.net/viewtopic.php?id=3349&action=newCash is ALWAYS better!!! Send money now!!!

Lol.

Seriously though, on my behalf and that of the others (Vic, Rob, Loco and not to forget all the regular users who contribute)...

You're quite welcome...

Of course, now you MUST reply to posts yourself if you see a question and know the answer or a place where they can find it... it is a requirement.. we wrote it into the forum / FAQ charter... ;-)

]]>http://developerweb.net/profile.php?id=37572003-07-03T01:09:30Zhttp://developerweb.net/viewtopic.php?id=3295&action=newJust add the links to the annoucement (first) post on each board...

Of course, that doesn't really help that much since what examples have been done are kinda scattered all over creation... :-(

I do have a domain (my own) on the system... we could dump them under there... that was part of the reason I got it... also to put more "article" type posts up instead of the normal question / answer type sequences...

]]>http://developerweb.net/profile.php?id=37572003-06-27T00:01:16Zhttp://developerweb.net/viewtopic.php?id=3283&action=newOk... I'm afraid you're going to have to be a bit more specific
than that... ;-)]]>http://developerweb.net/profile.php?id=37582003-06-26T12:35:31Zhttp://developerweb.net/viewtopic.php?id=3281&action=newWell, I think the FAQ proper IS still available in [url=http://www.developerweb.net/sock-faq/flatfaq.php]simple flat
format[/url], as well as plain text format, isn't it??

The only problem is that it isn't updated at all, anymore... The main
problem that moving here was supposed to solve (and has) is to
make managing the constant influx of new questions more managable...
On the old site, the new questions were just overwhelming the real
FAQ content, and the same questions were repeated over and over,
because information was so impossible to find... This place makes a
much better forum (no pun intended ;-)) for that sort of new Q&amp;A type
of discussion...

Then, the idea was that we could easily pick and choose among the
more commonly occuring questions and answers, and at some point,
designate them as worthy of moving into the actual FAQ proper, thereby
keeping that up to date, too... I'm not sure how well that'll work... ;-)
But, it's certainly a hell of a lot more feasable over here than it was
at the old page, anyway... *shrug*
